Local projects part of big-build trend
Housing development is still accelerating in Auckland, with record numbers of planning consents being lodged during lockdown – and the Devonport peninsula among areas generating more large-scale suburban proposals, particularly around Belmont and Hauraki.
“We’re at record consent numbers. We’ve never seen anything like this in the history of the city,” North Shore councillor and Planning Committee chairman Chris Darby told the Flagstaff.
The peninsula has generally not figured highly in consent numbers, whereas the northern suburbs of the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board area, from Takapuna up to Sunnynook, have been intensifying faster.
But Darby said activity on the peninsula had picked up in recent months, especially around Belmont.
Consent applications in the whole board area for the six months to the end of August are up 25 per cent compared with the same period the year before.
Over 12 months, the increase was 18 per cent. (City-wide lodgements over six and 12 months were up slightly less, at 22 per cent and 14 per cent respectively, but from a higher base.)
The Auckland Monthly Housing Update shows that attached multi-unit dwellings make up the vast bulk of planning consent applications across the city.
A council spokesman added that for developments with five or more dwellings there had been a 53 per cent increase to 7705 dwellings over successive 12-month periods.
In total, 22,700 consents were lodged in Auckland and 21,800 issued. They had a total value of $11.6 billion, up 25 per cent.
In the year to June. Auckland Council processed 43 per cent of the country’s approved new dwelling consents to the year to the end of June.
Demand from developers for larger sections is adding fuel to the real-estate pricing fire.
Darby said the private sector was responding to the need for more housing. Of applications that won consent from city planners, 90 per cent were signed off as completed homes within two years, he said.
The council’s monthly update does not
break down figures by individual suburbs, but board area applications for consents in the weeks since lockdown began on 17 August are tracking at similar weekly rates as pre-lockdown. Typically, a dozen or so applications are lodged each week, with most to build additional homes on what have often been single-home properties. In late September this included a 32-dwelling development in Milford, on three combined back sites, two off East Coast Rd and one off Stanley Ave. It comprises 30 terrace-style attached homes and two standalone properties. One example of large-scale development was proposed for a site opposite Takapuna Grammar School last year. Neighbours were concerned about a shared driveway, safety and space issues. Council planners sent the proposal back to the applicants for more work to meet Unitary Plan requirements. One of the sections involved has since been offered for sale. The Milford application is yet to be scrutinised but is on a bigger land area.
What’s going up – or on the drawing board
• The Bayswater marina apartment development is the largest application in the pipeline on the peninsula (see story, page 16). • Construction is well advanced at the Kainga Ora site on the corner of Lake Rd and
Bardia St corner, where 48 dwellings will replace the previous 12 state houses. • On Williamson Ave, several multi-storey private developments are being completed. • Building on Ngati Whatua’s Oneoneroa subdivision off Eversleigh St also resumed under Level 3 regulations. The iwi also owns land in Roberts Rd, where some houses have been cleared. • In Hauraki, on upper Hart Rd, two private residential sites were recently cleared and building on other sites in Northboro Rd is under way. Foundations have been laid for a seven-dwelling terrace at 258 Lake Rd. Auckland Council’s city update says in the year to August, it issued 19,928 consents to build and 14,178 completed homes had a code compliance certificate issued.
In the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board area, 412 consents were issued over the last six months, with 697 consents in 12 months, up 5 per cent on the previous year.
Of the wider city’s August consents, 65 per cent were for townhouses, flats, units, retirement village or other attached dwellings; 29 per cent were for houses and 6 per cent for apartments. New residential parcels of land, under 5000m2 were, created under 907 consents in August. The total for the year was 8709.
Public housing stock was also boosted, making up 175 of the total dwellings consented in August.
A quarter of the city’s new housing development consented in August fell within the 1500m walking catchments of the rapid transport network, the housing update shows. This zone applies to Takapuna, where a number of apartment and terrace housing developments have been consented over the last few years. New sites on Auburn St have recently been cleared.
The walking catchment definition allows greater intensification and will come further into play as the council responds to the government’s National Policy Statement on Urban Development to encourage building.
Darby said attempting to hold the line on design provisions while it works through responding to the government directive would be a challenge. “The government is interested in quantities, Aucklanders too, but they [residents] will not like it if they just get quantity outcomes and not quality outcomes that will last forever.”

Handing over... Andre, Wendy and Hayden Cumiskey at Devonport Auto Centre, the business Andre has worked in for 31 years, owned for over two decades and just sold to Hayden
Covid lockdown has proved the ultimate spanner in the works for long-time Devonport mechanic Andre Cumiskey.
He was phasing himself out of the Devonport Auto Centre, where he had worked for 31 years, before selling the business to son Hayden in the middle of 2021.
Now living on a Mangawhai lifestyle block, Andre was travelling to Devonport a couple of days a week to help out, while Hayden was searching for a new mechanic.
“I think it’s the end… Hayden will find a new staff member before the borders open up,” said Andre.
Starting at Devonport Auto Centre in 1989, he bought the business 10 years later. It became a real family affair, with wife Wendy working in admin. Hayden started work as a cleaner after school, later training as a mechanic and joining the firm full-time nine years ago, aged 21. The business has grown over the years from essentially just Andre and Wendy to four mechanics and two part-time office staff. It averages 15 cars a day through the shop for repairs, services and warrants. It has had more than 85,000 vehicles through the door over the last 22 years, and is busier than ever. “Vic (Martin of Tainui Motors) asked if I was happy for him to recommend me to his customers when Tainui closed, so it has got busier and busier,” said Andre. He became known for giving work experience to youths from tough backgrounds. “One of these kids turned up and I asked him where he got his overalls from. He said he stole them from his last job. I told him that’s not exactly the right thing to say to your new boss!” Wendy is now working as a dog groomer and the couple are developing a doggy daycare centre. “I’ll keep coming back to Devonport to visit and I stilll enjoy doing mechanical work,” said Andre. “But it’s been good to have a change as well. I’ve been doing a lot of fencing and tree planting and I may end up running the doggy daycare.”
Credit gets tighter
Recent data suggests credit conditions are tightening to record levels of difficulty - this is especially true for small and medium sized business who can only really borrow if they have some sort of property as security - cashflow lending is almost a thing of the past unless there is a strong history and contracts to rely on - it’s a case of banks directing their capital to the mortgage market along with a diminishing level of experience in the business lending space.
We are also seeing this for borrowers who rely on their own business income to service a loan as they are finding it more and more difficult to get approvals especially with recent covid disruptions - but if you are a PAYE earner with a good credit and account conduct history it is much easier to get a mortgage – once again the entrepreneurs and small business are suffering compared to the civil servants of this world – speak to us if you need help.
Watch out for further mortgage interest rate rises as the RBNZ looks to keep raising the OCR over the next year or so!

I’ve been a reporter for 38 years, but a call from the public can still elicit surprises. Not all of them good. Last week an anti-vaxxer rang concerned with my stance over a tradesman visiting a local home unvaccinated, and upset at my refusal to print any anti-vaccination material in our letters columns.
Before I hung up, he described me as scum. I’ve been called a lot of things in nearly four decades of journalism but this was a first.
Shortly afterwards, the government released figures showing vaccination rates in Devonport. More than 90 per cent had received at least one dose. It was in line with what should be recorded in a high-decile, educated and engaged community.
However, it got me thinking what a high-vaccination community should expect of others. Double-vaxed tradesmen visiting homes is one, and the same goes for anyone working in a public-facing job: retailers, librarians, salespeople, teachers – the list goes on. I would imagine parents will be concerned about sending high-school kids to classes where other students remain unvaccinated.
My “scum” caller claimed my last column effectively denied people the right to choose, and encouraged readers to discriminate in the workplace.
The reality is the government and employers’ line is hardening into “no jab, no job” to protect both other workers and the public from the spread of Covid. Last week, front-line health workers, teachers and early childhood education staff were added to the list of occupations where vaccinations are mandated. In answer to the freedom-of-choice argument: what about those businesses and jobs put at risk by almost three months of lockdown? What choice have those people had?
With the Delta variant of Covid appearing to be spreading in the community for the foreseeable future, part of returning to a semblance of normal life is a feeling of greater safety. People should be able to enter a shop, cafe or store knowing they will be served by vaccinated staff. This week the Flagstaff is launching a JABBED campaign. We will design and print cards for proprietors to place in their windows, with a clear message: “JABBED – Shop with confidence, all staff serving on this premises are double vaccinated”.
Support the businesses displaying this sign – to help make our community safer.
The timing of the government’s release of suburb by suburb data needs to be questioned. We have been asking for more specific data for the Devonport area for months but none has been forthcoming. Either the government had the data and did not want to supply it or it has been late to the party in gathering the information in a form that could be released. Either way, the public has not been informed in a timely manner. Likewise the release of places of interest, where Covid-positive people have visited. Devonport New World was listed twice last week, but with no other information except for times. Surely the government has information on whether the Covid-positive person was a shopper, worker at the store, delivery person or cleaner? More information means, more awareness, less fear and assumption,
Overseas – in France for example – Covid tracer apps are way more sophisticated and offer two-way information, such as how many positive Covid cases have been recorded in your suburb.
Moving to Devonport in 1993, I was working on a Sunday paper so spent many a rostered Monday off wheeling my one-yearold son Anthony around Devonport streets.
It was spring, and while I enjoyed people’s handiwork in their gardens, and the wisteria and bougainvillea that seemed more fashionable back then, Anthony was always keen on seeing the neighbourhood cats and dogs.
Pensioners always liked to stop and have a chat, glad to see the youngster out and about in the pram.
Three decades on, my lockdown walks are a reminder of how many front yards have been taken up with garages or parking, with simple fences and a gates replaced by walls and security-pad entrances. Police tell us Devonport has one of the lowest crime rates in the country. What are people so scared of?
Mask-wearing and social distancing has also meant a decline in the likelihood of a friendly encounter in the street. I hope those kinds of contacts will soon return.
Bayswater Marina Ltd’s notified application to develop its reclamation into apartments and townhouses needs close scrutiny.
A residential component on the land has been talked about for more than 25 years, and while the number of dwellings on the 3.7ha site has reduced over the decades, the rub is still the same. Is the size and bulk too large for the location? And how are the public transport options, green spaces, and access to the coastline best protected?
Over recent years, the Auckland sands have shifted markedly in favour of developers providing housing intensification. How the Auckland Council officers and independent commissioners view the application in regard to the Bayswater Marine Precinct Zonings and wider coastal protections will be instructive.

Sean Wainui gone too soon
Sean Wainui, the best rugby player to emerge from Takapuna Grammar in recent seasons, died in a car accident at Omanawa near Tauranga on Monday morning.
Wainui (25) left Auckland after school and played 53 super rugby matches – 44 for the Chiefs and nine for the Crusaders – mainly as a centre, but sometimes on the wing. He also represented New Zealand Maori since 2015 and played 53 games for Taranaki before shifting to Bay of Plenty this year.
Wainui played for the TGS first XV in 2011, 2012 and 2013, making the North Harbour Colts side while still at school.
Nailing it... Scarlett Riddington (7) getting stuck in with her dad’s power tools, helping to build planter boxes as part of a school project
Vauxhall School pupil Scarlett Riddington is making the most of learning at home, recently turning a school project into a family DIY day.
Seven-year-old Scarlett, sister Mia, aged 11, and dad Brad worked together to produce some smart planter boxes.
Syndicate lead teacher Claire Taylor said the innovative idea came out of a study focus on native birds for the school’s Year 3 Kowhai group on native birds.
Instead of building a birdhouse as other tamariki were doing, she said, Scarlett had decided on planters. These are as an added way of attracting garden visitors.
It was a hands-on effort for Scarlett, who proudly sent pictures of her work back to the school.
Luckily her father, who runs Riddington Builders, had all the right tools at hand.
Describing her work on the class website, Scarlett said: “On Saturday Mia and I built planter boxes with Dad. We used the nail gun and electric drill to put the boxes together and then painted them black.
“We are going to plant tomatoes and lettuce in them, as well as some pansy flower plants.”
Call-out false alarm
Multiple police cars seen at Stanley Bay on 6 October were responding to reports of a serious assault, a police media spokesperson said. The assault was said to have occurred at Stanley Bay Wharf. Area enquiries and CCTV enquiries were made by police. “However, there was no evidence to suggest any offence had taken place. Those parties involved were spoken to and no further action was required by police,” the spokesperson said.
Library event shelved
Devonport Library Associates has cancelled its November event. “We’ll hope that the New Year brings the opportunity to resume our event schedule,” a spokesperson said.
Covid hits classic
The Round North Head Classic swim event, usually held in December, has been postponed until 30 April 2022 due to the uncertainty posed by Covid-19 lockdowns. The start of summer fun Jets runs in Devonport have also been delayed.
Cycle death charge
A 34-year-old man charged in relation to a Lake Rd collision in which cyclist Warrick Jones was killed in March is due to appear in court next month. Jones, a married father of three and keen triathlete, was killed in a collision with a truck at the corner of Montgomery Ave on 9 March.

From Kit Kats to Kiwi Kids and making dreams come true
Linda Simmons honed her marketing skills over 20 years in the corporate world, selling some of the world’s most popular chocolate bars globally. For the past seven years she’s used that experience to sell real estate. Among the top five per cent of Bayleys’ agents in the country and national winner of REINZ’s 2021 Best Multi-Media Marketing Campaign of the Year, she says it’s not only her marketing know-how that has helped her achieve such strong results for her clients, she also has a secret offering!
That’s not a Kiwi accent — where are you from originally? My parents were from the UK but didn’t want to live there so they travelled the world. I was born in Jamaica and lived there until I was 10, when we moved to Ireland. Three years later we went to England so my sister, Jacquie, and I could go to high school there. We were always very close as sisters and came to New Zealand on our OE in the late 1980s, fell in love with the country and both vowed we would live here one day. Jacquie met her husband then and moved here quite quickly; it took me a bit longer to get back. How did you manage that? I went back to England and started my marketing career working for a confectionary firm, Rowntree Mackintosh. I was the brand manager for Kit Kat. I applied for the job because I love chocolate and I wanted to work on something I had a real passion for. Nestle bought us, and because they were a global company, the next day I was in my boss’s office asking for a transfer to New Zealand. I was here for three years and met my husband Mark, who came with me when they moved me on to Australia for four years, then to Nestle’s global head office in Switzerland for seven years. In my last years with Nestle I led an internal consultancy team that helped local Nestle teams in different countries market our products. That meant a lot of travelling. It was fun and an incredible lifestyle, but once we had our daughters Annabella and Clara, it became too hard. We decided that once the kids were ready to start school, we’d come back to New Zealand to bring them up as Kiwi kids in Devonport, where we had a home. Did you get straight into real estate? No, I first set up my own boutique business consultancy, with the goal of helping Kiwi companies to go global. The company I mostly worked with was a2 Milk. They were a tiny company then, and completely unknown. That work started to get really busy and after about three years I wanted to pull back and spend time with my family. So, I had a stint as a full-time mum, which I absolutely loved, and put my heart and soul into fundraising for Stanley Bay School while my kids were there. I just adored that school, and still do, which is why I am drawn to sponsor it even though my kids have long ago left and are in fact now at university! During this time, I kept bumping into an ex-colleague from my Nestle days, who had gone into real estate. She said, “Come and join me, you will absolutely love it.” I thought it would be a great way to work in my neighbourhood. Jacquie, my sister, decided to join me right at the start, so we could work together and that way, see more of each other! What was different about your approach to real estate? There were already a lot of really good agents in my area so I felt it was important to offer a point of difference. I wanted to offer an added-value proposition, which I do with the way I market properties. To me, it’s not so much about selling houses. People don’t buy houses, they buy lifestyle and experiences and what’s best for them and their family. It’s not just a financial journey, it is a very emotional one. How do you do that? I use my marketing skills to get to the heart of what each home is about, so I treat each one as a brand and I use video in a special way to tell its story. Where possible, I interview the owners on video and let them talk about their home because they know it way better than I ever can. It’s authentic and emotional. I call it “tugging on heart strings”. Also, I won’t put a house on the market unless it is presented the best it can be. I do that thanks to my secret offering — my sister. What difference does Jacquie make? Through Jacquie, I offer a complete ‘get ready for market’ service. From the moment the vendors come to us, she is there making a list of what needs to be done, and she helps them to do it. She’s like a house fairy. We have contractors we use who will fit us into their schedule no matter how busy they are, including interior designers Places and Graces, who help with styling homes roomby-room. Jacquie also helps buyers, often driving them all over Devonport, so that they really get to understand the area. What Jacquie loves more than anything is helping people, and she often saves the day. We work as a team, me and Jacquie with our vendors, and also the people we bring in to help. We also have a fantastic PA, Emma, and wonderful support from the wider Bayleys team, and of course our families.
What do you love about real estate? What we love the most is helping to make people’s dreams come true. When you sell someone’s home and see both them and the new owners jumping up and down with excitement, that is truly the most magical feeling.

Schools say teacher vaccination rates looking good
When Devonport peninsula students finally return to school, most local principals say they will be taught by vaccinated teachers.
At Devonport Primary, all teachers have had their first Covid-19 vaccine and nearly all their second. Principal Beverley Booth said: “Everyone on the staff proactively sought out vaccination as soon as they were eligible.”
Belmont Primary says all its 44 staff were well on the way to being fully vaccinated before the government mandated it.
Principal Bruce Cunningham said teacher leadership getting vaccinated sent a strong message to the community. “Your child will be as safe as they can be so there is no reason not to send them to school.”
Vauxhall School principal Gary Lawrence said staff were on track to full vaccination. “We support and understand the need to do our bit to create a safe community.”
Stanley Bay Primary principal Lucy Naylor told parents in a letter that all of its permanent and part-time staff had received one vaccination and, as of two weeks ago, 80 per cent had already had their second.
Some schools won’t get into specifics or say they are still collating numbers – with teachers having been on term break until online learning resumed this week – but they have been given until 1 January to comply with the government’s directive of employing only fully vaccinated teachers and other support staff.
Hauraki School principal Clarinda Franklin said she did not see this being a problem. “There’s enough time, and I am pretty sure that most of our staff will embrace getting vaccinated. I understand that they are in the process of doing so.”
Takapuna Grammar School (TGS) principal Mary Nixon said while she was unable to share vaccination data – as it had been given to her in confidence – “I am able to say that the TGS staff will be very resilient in the Covid environment.”
Next year, Nixon will face the task of also finding out if TGS’s around 1500 students are vaccinated. This is in line with a directive to schools. It applies to students aged 12 and over, who are eligible for the Covid vaccination, which is not yet approved for younger ages.
Belmont Intermediate principal Nick Hill said last week that he was still collating staff information so could not yet comment.
Hauraki’s Franklin said the Ministry of Education had told schools they were required to keep a register about staff vaccination rates, but they were awaiting further details on what this and other aspects of schooling would look like.
A number of principals said that while they were disappointed that Term 4 had not been able to start back in class, it was an understandable decision, if last-minute. They had been grappling with how to set up for a safe return, including looking at shorter and staggered breaks and start and finish times, along with keeping children in small groups. Advice on improved ventilation was another area to adapt to.
Booth said a few Devonport Primary parents had contacted her with concerns about a return to school, before this was scuppered. “So there was a sense of relief that this has been postponed,” she said.
Franklin said parents were supportive of the online learning provided, but it was tough on some. “There are a few who have struggled, mainly those who are both trying to work from home whilst supervising children doing school work. This is particularly challenging when family members have to share devices.”
Cunningham said a return to class would involve a lot of compliance to ensure all contractors, educational agencies, volunteers, and tutors were fully vaccinated, and have had a recent surveillance test, showing a negative result.
“It will also involve a lot of laughter, connection and happiness.”
Pupils wanted to reconnect with their friends and parents wanted to reopen their businesses or be back at work full time, he said.
